Taxes, Part One

Here are some previous Think Tank programs that may be of interest.

Taxes, Part Two(aired 7/10/2003)Arguing about taxes is as old as the hills. And in today’s struggling economy, taxes are the root issue of American politics. President George W. Bush has made cutting taxes the core of his domestic agenda since his first day on the job. His critics, mostly Democrats, don’t like tax cuts, at least not Bush’s version. A battle royal has ensued. Will tax cuts help the economy? Who should get them and how much? Can anyone make sense of it all?

The Tax Code(aired 4/12/1999)The tax code is too complicated. Americans are overcharged by the federal government because of all the confusion and uncertainty. What are possible alternatives? Is government spending too much?
